SS Blood Order Medal

The SS Blood Order Medal (SS Blutorden) was a decoration created by Adolf Hitler on October 9, 1933, to commemorate the participants of the "Beer Hall Putsch." This was a failed coup attempt by the Nazi Party on November 8-9, 1923, in Munich, Germany.

The SS Blood Order Medal was awarded to those who had participated in the putsch and survived, particularly members of the Sturmabteilung (SA) and Schutzstaffel (SS), both paramilitary organizations of the Nazi Party. The term "Blood Order" (Blutorden) referred to the notion that those who took part in the putsch had shed their blood for the Nazi cause.
